CLIMBING THE PINNACLE OF MARTIAL ARTS
Chapter 10: About Money and Losses
Ye Feng did not think much of this, as they were in the Black Plum Village, located close to the Pure Battalion, the other disciples who came to the Village were common.
A while later, Ye Feng arrived in line to buy rice. The queue is quite long, the length is two stalls. His business was very prosperous, but there was only one servant serving. The boss was counting about the money with the abacus on the table, while the wife greeted the guests.
As more people finished ordering, the queue gradually became shorter and Ye Feng joined the queue.
"Mistress" cried Ye Feng, a 40-year-old woman looked up to see who it was. When he saw it was Ye Feng, he suddenly smiled and said, “Ah, young man, you came to buy rice again. ”
"Yes, "he walked to the front of the store, and pointed to a sack behind the store and said, "Please give me a sack. ”
While the woman tied the sack with a rope, she said, “Young man, you only buy one sack a month, is this enough for you?”
Ye Feng replied, “That's enough. ”
"You lied!" the woman retorted as she looked at Ye Feng, "Look at you; thin arms and legs. If you eat right then what is with these skinny arms and legs? "
Ye Feng smiled timidly, “I also went to the mountain to hunt, so since it was only with one sack I would not be hungry. ”
While the boss concentrated on counting the bills, he whispered to her: "Take the old rice from behind and give it to the boy. ”
"We will do the boss. "the lady replied with a smile.
“How is this true? You are also trying to make a living here. "Ye Feng said loudly.
The woman immediately wrinkled her face, “What is the use of old rice? Leaving it there will only provide a place for insects to grow. After all, people will not eat it. But the owner said that this rice still has some nutrients even though it is lacking. You wait here, I'll take some for you to take home. ”
As he said this, he had already started walking towards the back room.
Ye Feng's heart swelled, because he didn't know what to say. Whenever he came to buy rice, the boss and his wife would always find various reasons to give him more. They said that the insects would grow in old rice and the like, but in fact, it was always good rice that they gave him instead of old rice. Their generosity gave Ye Feng hope in this miserable world.
“Thank you, Uncle."Ye Feng's voice trembled slightly.
The store boss smiled and looked up, "When living alone, don't you have any household problems? In the future, whenever you are hungry come to our store, we may not have much, but we still have enough rice for you to eat. ”
"good. "Ye Feng nodded his head, the world still has good people around apparently.
Before long, two enthusiastic people came to the rice shop and kicked some people who were ready to order food from the line and moved away from the front of the store.
"Ahhhh ... . "a little sister fell, landed on her p*nt*t and flipped over. It was a big problem because after falling to the ground he could not get up again.
"What's wrong? "the store boss called out to the people who had kicked the younger brother as he ran out from behind the counter and towards the two men. Ye Feng quickly helped the second younger brother while glaring at the two evil-faced men. One of the men, looking pale and thin, held onto his stomach, while the other was built like a bear, supporting the pale one. It was these two people who kicked the second brother.
"Who's the boss here?" the man screamed.
"I, I. "the store boss quickly replied. He was just an ordinary merchant, yet the two men who called out to him had faces that looked so fierce. Swords on their waists and ferocious faces that showed that they were not easily taken lightly. Boss He was wondering what happened.
"Yes, okay. So you are a black-hearted boss, you even dare to sell poison rice to my brother. Look at her! At first he was a strong man, but after eating rice he became sickly. Usually he was as strong as a bear, but he was hard to stand now! You're a black-hearted person, only worrying about money and not thinking about other people's lives! ”
At the explosion from this man, Boss He anxiously stuttered, “Ah, how is it possible? How come? "
The man then said, "How do I know? This morning my brother bought rice from you, and made rice porridge, then he became like this after eating the rice he bought from you. I'm lucky I don't eat anything, otherwise I'll also be like him. ”
"Misunderstand? Mother's misunderstanding! If it wasn't your rice, then what caused it to become like this? ”that Han man roared.
(TLN: people are an ethnic type within China)
Ye Feng sat down and pondered the situation while all eyes were fixed on the commotion. Boss He was a good person, Ye Feng could not believe that the person who gave him the rice, would put poison in it. Not to mention the fact that Boss He couldn't possibly have a black heart in Ye Feng's mind, a black-hearted businessman wouldn't be so stupid as to poison his own rice.
If this information spreads, how will it do business in the future? Who would dare come and buy the rice?
The bad reason the two men were truly unbearable, and they could not even consider that it was something else.
Therefore, both of them must be here to destroy the others. But this move was a bit too evil, as they implied that Boss He needed someone to die just to earn money.
Even though Ye Feng's body was weak, he was still a practitioner. And over these past few years he had seen many types of people, so he felt he could judge Boss He accurately. The man was also someone who owed him a great debt and when Ye Feng witnessed this, it caused his face to fall. He stood up and said: "Hey you two…"
"What?" one of the men looked at him sharply, his anger clearly visible.
Ye Feng did not speak, but Boss He immediately jumped in front of him. He slowly shook his head for Ye Feng to stop.
"Uncle He…. . '' Ye Feng was stunned.
"Even in bankruptcy, avoid misfortune!" Boss He whispered.
Ye Feng just sighed helplessly. The fact that boss He was going to say this, hinted that he knew what the two Han men were up to. But to do business, one must have a good name. The previous commotion had already attracted a lot of attention, if this continued, then the reputation of their rice shop would be in vain.
Even if someone knows what they are saying is wrong, we can only obey it and hurriedly hope to end this failure before too much damage is done.
In desperation, Boss He faced the man: "Regarding your brother's illness, I can tell that it has nothing to do with me ……"
After the two men heard this, one shouted furiously, “Even if it has nothing to do, I have already come to this rice stall. If I do not make the truth clear, then my brother's suffering will be in vain. He should be sent to the doctor immediately! But of course, if you are willing to shoulder the medical bills, then we are willing to stop this problem. ”
After this statement, it is clear that you absolutely must go broke to avoid misfortune. If people really want to squeeze money, they will do so over a period of time. The demands made by these two people were too short, if Boss He agreed to pay them off now the reputation where his rice would still suffer. Because nothing is watertight and the news of him selling poisoned rice will spread. This told Ye Feng that those people were not interested in blackmailing Boss He to earn more money or that they had other goals.
Who would have imagined that these two Han men had no intention of compromising: "You're a black-hearted boss. Who would have thought we were brothers, to be exploited so freely? We two brothers are really unlucky for buying poisonous rice from you! Where is your guilty conscience? "
That statement was in harmony with Ye Feng's thoughts. He curled his lips while sitting down, thinking are they virtuous and living a clean life?
Boss He was stunned as well. Whahuh? Aren't these two men here to extort money?
While stunned and unsure of what to do, more and more people began to gather. A handsome boy who was similar and Ye Feng's age also appeared. From his appearance, he was clearly much better than Ye Feng.
The young man casually walked towards the men, and circled them with interest. While doing so he constantly clicked his tongue.
Others might not realize it, but with a quick glance Ye Feng recognized the three as the people he had seen before in the alley.
The crowd had just stared at the boy, who had just appeared!
Were these three men together before? Ye Feng sensed the evil plot between them.
